Kamloops’ only fully equipped, Classical Pilates studio where we guide you to find real results, personalized for every body.

The Pilates Tree is the only CLASSICAL Pilates studio in the interior of British Columbia. Classical Pilates stays true to the original method created by Joseph Pilates. We make you stronger using his system of exercises and equipment - we do not modify or change what Joseph Pilates created as many other contemporary Pilates studios do.

At The Pilates Tree, we use high end, classical equipment by Contrology for your best experience. The equipment does matter!

Every body CAN do PILATES

  • Do you suffer from low back or joint pain?

  • Are you an athlete looking for that extra edge?

  • Does your job contribute to poor posture?

Pilates is a concept, a discipline, a lifestyle. It is a way of living that will support you in the things you love to do. It is a journey without end and one with limitless rewards when practised consistently.

Pilates can be done regardless of age, fitness level, gender or body type. We meet you where you are and challenge you just enough both physically and mentally with what your body needs.

Hi! I’m Christine and I’ve been bringing Pilates to the community of Kamloops since 2006. It is my passion to share the many benefits Pilates has to offer since I began teaching over 20 years ago. 
Pilates is best defined as the balance between strength and stretch with control. When understood correctly, the classical system fosters changes in the body at a deeper level and results are seen faster. Joseph Pilates’ system is brilliant, yet simple.  It is my mission to teach what Pilates truly is - meaning what work actually came from Joseph Pilates. Simply put, Pilates is a 'Return To Life' as Mr. Pilates writes about in his book.
When a client makes a new connection or understanding in their body, we celebrate it!

TESTIMONIALS

  • 'I came to The Pilates Tree post-spinal surgery and was immediately reassured that my limitations were not only respected, but understood. The personalized plan proposed for my private Pilates sessions was on par with my physio program. The mobility of my spine sky-rocketed in a very short period of time and within two months my core strength is noticeably better than it was before surgery.

  • 'I have been a client at The Pilates Tree since approximately 2010. I can honestly say, this is one of the only forms of organized exercise that I have ever really enjoyed and I've tried them all over the years. At 64, I feel that I am in the best shape of my life because of the classes and the teachers at The Pilates Tree. The small group sizes and Contrology Classes along with the attention from the teachers really allows you to learn and grow in your Pilates practice. The atmosphere in the studio is bright, open, clean and fun! Owner Christine and her amazing team are extremely knowledgeable and always available to assist, correct and encourage during workouts. I would highly recommend giving Pilates a try at The Pilates Tree. You will not regret it!'

  • 'Pilates has become a special part of my life. I have been attending Christine's studio since 2006 and have more core strength and flexibility than I could have ever imagined at this stage of my life. My general body strength has improved and the time to focus and relax during class is great. Pilates has been a wonderful learning curve, contributing to my overall health. Because I have osteoporosis, it helps me to stand tall and any back pain is kept in check. My bone density has even increased! The teachers are wonderful, aware of individual needs, and present us with new challenges. Pilates will be a part of my life for as long as I am able to take part. Above all, it is great to meet new people and you feel great!'

    VAL VICARS

  • 'Several years after a major car accident I was let with a debilitating chronic pain pattern. I had daily pain and stiffness for ten years and periodically my back would go into spasm that twisted and hunched my body, requiring me to step away from my life and rest until it recovered. One year ago, I started practicing Pilates with Christine Waterman two days per week. I have not had a back spasm for ten months! I never dreamed that this level of recovery was possible. Through Christine and Pilates I learned that my body compensated in its movements which was causing pain and after working with her I am able to find and strengthen the correct movement patterns and now bend, walk up hill, rake my yard, garden, ride a bike, and attend my workdays consistently. Pilates is much, much more than exercise. Christine's expertise, experience and wisdom is a necessary support for our community. My life is changed because of her and her work.'

  • 'This isn't just a studio - it's a family! The personalized, adaptive care and attention is unique and exceptional. All of the instructors are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and truly care not only about supporting the development about skills and practice, but also about each individual person and their day to day lives. They never fail to find the balance between performance and support pushing your practice but not overworking. The athlete in me appreciates the push, but the rest of me appreciates the permission to listen to my body and work within my abilities.'
